The study participants received an intramuscular dose of the drug and another two intranasal doses, while another group received three administrations by the same route, indicates the source, citing the expert.

After the first period of the trials, the safety of the vaccine candidate could be verified, as there were only mild adverse reactions, Limonta said.

Once the evaluation of the results of the study by the Cuban regulatory entity has concluded, “we would move on to the long cycle, between days zero, 28 and 56,” the scientist explained.
